Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston procured transport services for the London Borough of Sutton. The requirement was arranged as a single service covering transport activity associated with the borough, with delivery linked to the Kingston upon Thames area. The buyer is a regional or local authority partnership involving Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston. The procurement falls within the general transport services category, excluding waste transport. The selected supplier, Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd, is based in Cheam and provides the relevant transport and courier capability. This requirement is therefore relevant to operators able to provide reliable passenger or courier transport services for a local authority-led public service arrangement in the Sutton and Kingston area.

The procurement has completed and was awarded through an open procedure. Fourteen bids were recorded. Evaluation was based entirely on price, with quality headings covering attributes, client review, features, capability, qualifications and a custom metric. Wallington Cars and Couriers Ltd was awarded the contract on 23 July 2026 for £42,042.86 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The process included one lot, whose recorded status is cancelled, while the award and contract are active; businesses should therefore treat the award and signed contract as the operative outcome rather than as an opportunity to bid.

This award indicates demand from Sutton, Achieving for Children and Kingston for transport services delivered through a straightforward open competition where price was decisive. A credible future competitor would need dependable transport or courier operations serving Sutton and the Kingston upon Thames area, together with the capacity to deliver a local-authority requirement consistently. Evidence of operational capability, relevant qualifications, service features, positive client reviews and clear service attributes would help address the quality headings used in the evaluation, even though those headings did not outweigh price in this procurement. Suppliers should also be able to submit a competitive, clearly evidenced price and demonstrate that their organisation can manage public-sector service delivery at a local scale.
